I've merged all the comments from the redevelopment thread about the possible using Waverley as a base into this one

Not exactly sure what you are on about in the 1st part of your 2nd paragraph but the last part ....

I'm assuming you are talking about the women's team (again)

You are clearly not aware and even if you were it doesn't suit your narrative so you'd ignore it but one of the main reasons we got $35mil combined from the Fed & State govts is due us having a women's team? Govt funding to support and improve facilities for women's sport and community womens sport is huge right now.

Now I understand that to some and I will include you here cub that is disgusting, pathetic and dare I say it wrong but women's sport has not been supported with government funding for far too long. That is a fact

I'm a 44 year member and I'll say what I like.

So if you're going to go on a rant belittling our AFLW team which you are entitled to do at least get your facts right.

Love to know where you heard that from. So far from the truth it's not funny

Richmond CEO Shane Dunne confirms the club is in talks with the AFL about using Waverley Park as a base at the end of 2026.

Nothing confirmed - but the Tigers will need to move out of Punt Road for nearly six months when their oval is redeveloped to match the MCG.
